by looking at the picture and seeing 14 yr old girls i can tell I'd hate this anime

Eh really? You're not even going to give it a chance..? Not gonna sugar-coat it, that's kinda stupid. A lot of us that really like the show don't like the crotch-shots and strike-witches clothing look, but we put up with it for a good story.

It has some nice moments but way to predictable. It might change in the future episodes, but for now its like Meet new girl- Back story of the girl - Alone showing up - Girl getting key - girl showing off her weapon - Chick shooting the alone with power up arrow - New girl and akane docking and defeating alone.

I hope you realize that those episodes are just the build up of the story. This type of thing happens in every movie and show in existence where a group of people are brought together to form some sort of force... except for series/movies that are based on "strike forces" or whatever. And even then they usually cover how the group was formed briefly.

In other words, they aren't going to keep repeating the same formula for 26 episodes. lol This isn't AKB48: Strike Witches Edition. :P

Rei got some airtime this ep... now I'm left to wondering who the person talking through the raven is... and I am kinda leaning towards Akane's mom, but it's probably not her.

I highly doubt that it's her as well but you never know. Many a kind face have held the most evil of intentions. Although, I doubt from the one scene we saw of her that she would do something like destroy the world. But, it was still only one scene. Original works are best as you can speculate without anyone ruining the fun.

If I heard correctly, it seems that the reason Rei's world was destroy was because their manifestation engine blew up. Probably because of the Alone as well. So, a destroyed manifestation engine would be very bad- end of the world bad.

It also seems that the feather marks on Rei's neck represent the number of times she can do that empowering arrow shot. I'm taking a wild guess that nothing good will happen to Rei if it does.

Um, but aren't Alone and Rei trying to blow up Earth's Manifestation Engine? And if that destroyed Rei's world then... won't that destroy ours too? Maybe Rei with it?

I get the feeling that Alone can't actually give Rei back her world either. It will be some kind of, "Sorry, thanks for destroying the engine for us, sorry we lied about being able to bring your parents back to life," psych out if she does actually succeed in destroying it.

Slower episode, still liked it but with only 12 episodes I was hoping for non stop action. Just 7 left unless they are going to leave us hanging and hoping for season 2...

I know what you mean. They probably going to have her die in the explosion as well. Strange how she doesn't seem to make the connection that her world was destroyed by the manifestation engine's "meltdown" and now the people she works for want her to destroy another world's manifestation engine. They most of told her some very convincing lie.

A season 2 is pretty possible as they have about 3,000 pre-orders. It's a close second to Love Live!

I don't think she will die in any explosion, I fully expect that she will come around to become friends with the Vivid Rainbow Operation Girls to form Vivid Black... But we can try to stay in suspense ;)

I've preordered the first two volumes of both in April and May so I'm part of that That is, unless they end up disappointing me by April 24th and I cancel my orders... hopefully not!

Yeah I am pretty sure Rei will become one of the good guys. Its already been hinted at that she isnt evil, just used. Otherwise she wouldnt have saved that boy from the falling girder, and her past flashback shows shes just being used as well.

Rei during a heel-face turn goes without question. No matter how hard she resists, the power of lov- friendship will win her over. It's Fate I tell you; though hopefully for Rei without the befriending process beforehand.

And lucky! I would buy them too but I don't know if they'd be subbed or not and the fact that as a college student, not a lot of money lying around for anime DVD and imports. Also, why would they cancel your order?

That wasn't just a hint. This anime wants to make sure we get it with no misunderstanding whatsoever. That whole scene was, "Rei is a good girl, OK? Get it? Good! Not bad! Good!"

It is fate for sure but apparently not quite as strong as the other girls who couldn't resist docking for an entire episode LOL No docking today, sigh...

I have not heard that it will be subtitled. Little Busters is the only thing I've imported recently that happened to have subs. Yes, they are expensive...

Why would I cancel? Only if I ended up hating the end of the series and couldn't see myself wanting to watch it again. So far I love it, the first four episodes are totally rewatchable. The fifth one I may need to watch again to decide

With all the preorders I think the chance of them cancelling it is zero. Even with poor sales I have never heard of a Japanese company cancelling discs as they have done all the work already aside from commentary and booklets, etc. North American companies that need to buy or pay for subs or dubs may decide not to bother making discs even if they buy the rights but I suspect this title will come out in North American without any doubt. Aniplex America is likely champing at the bit to release this one.

So far, I am five episodes in, and I'm seeing decent animation and action. As for plot, it's nothing intricate or mind blowing. The premise of this series is girls with powers and fanservice, basically. No originality whatsoever. It's pandering really hard and that isn't exactly a good thing.
